“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is this organizer who directs not only the movements of the physical body from within, but directs from within those intimate survival mechanisms, without which the physical body could not exist, and upon which the existence of the outer ego is so dependent.

Scientists have glimpsed the complications of the human body. [...] If it were understood that the areas of the subconscious are indeed populated by many and various subpersonalities, then they would not wonder that the human body is sometimes so besieged with ailments, or that the dominant personality so often appears in contradictory terms.

[...] When you awaken, or seem to in the middle of the night, try simply to get out of the physical body. Simply try to get out of bed, you see, and to walk into another room while the physical body stays where it is.

[...] It offers good possibilities in another direction: you can, if you want to do so, look back at your own body.

[...] Often you do not want to see the body by itself, so to speak, and so you choose methods that make this more difficult. [...]

[...] Of course Ruburt was out of his body when he saw Miss Callahan, who was in the same condition.

[...] If the body can achieve a deep state of relaxation, unbothered by the caffeine, then the caffeine does activate the reasoning processes; and sufficiently enough to help them operate for a while, while the body is in slumber. [...]

I believe it will be found that differences will occur in the plus and minus charges in the body during such episodes. [...]

The medical profession unwittingly promotes the idea of illness above health, and in its devotion to uncovering disease it often completely forgets the entire concept of the body’s natural defenses and vitality. All of these ideas unfortunately become a part of people’s daily lives, undermining their assurance, pride, and almost obscuring the body’s natural state of exuberance and strength. [...]

Schools require a large body of knowledge already accumulated, of course, so to the early species schools as such were meaningless. [...]

[...] The body has been holding its own, weight-wise, as I told you.

[...] The energy instead had fed the nervous symptoms, to such an extent that the body was starved, comparatively speaking. [...]

(4:28.) Ruburt’s body is rapidly gaining strength. [...]

[...] As I did so she showed me a new motion with her right arm: now she could lift it higher from the shoulder as she lay on her back, and then reach farther across her body and up toward her left shoulder—something she hasn’t been able to do before today. [...]

12. I’m not sure how something like naïve realism fits in with out-of-body travel (or “projection”), however. [...] Paradoxically, our perceptions while out-of-body can be more tenuously connected to temporal reality than usual, yet more acute at the same time. I was aware of the accustomed physical world during a projection that’s described in Seth Speaks (see the 583rd session in Chapter 20), and in some other dream-connected out-of-body situations. However, our use of naïve realism must often govern what we allow ourselves to experience while consciousness is separated from the body. I also think that some out-of-body travels, apparently to “alien” nonphysical realities, may actually be based instead upon interior bodily states or events. [...]

(Then soon afterward, Seth had this to say in a private session:) Your body knows how to walk. [...] The body knows how to heal itself, how to use its nourishment, how to replace its tissues — yet in your terms the body itself has no access to the kind of information the mind possesses. [...]

If it were scientifically inclined, the body would know that such spontaneous performance was impossible, for science cannot explain the reality of life itself in its present form, much less its origins. Consciousness within the body knows that its existence is within the body’s context, and apart from it at the same time.

[...] The consciousness of the mouse, under the innate knowledge of impending pain, leaves its body. [...]

Dawn is breaking.
Why should I lie in bed
worrying about my body or the world?
Before time was recorded
dawn has followed dusk
and all the creatures of the earth
have been couched
in the loving context
of their times.

(Also: I also had a very brief impression of standing up and off to the right of myself, only I was in the body of an older woman that I didn’t recognize. It was not my body surely, but must larger, with a bony frame, dark hair, a more square face, and glasses.

Ruburt did anticipate with some correctness part of this evening’s subject matter, having to do with apparent deterioration of the quality of matter itself, that composes the physical body. [...]

[...] The focus of energy that organizes the physical body weakens, strays; the trance state, strongest at what you call early adulthood, begins to lose its hold even as in childhood it has not yet attained its full depth.

[...] He is unbound emotionally and psychically by physical time, even while his physical body ticks with physical minutes.

In addition, Jane has described some unique versions of out-of-body episodes that have grown out of the thyroid-medication connection. [...] Instead, she had felt her body in the chair lift most convincingly toward the ceiling…. [...] She hasn’t seen her own body sitting below her yet, though, as can happen in the out-of-body state, and she hasn’t seen or talked with any deceased individuals.

As Seth told us in that introductory session, over four and a half years ago, Jane’s “body itself has nothing wrong with it except the application of beliefs…. Even if you think the body does have something wrong with it, then the necessary adjustments would be made in another kind of time [in Framework 2] that in Framework 1 would take no time at all—or, the amount of time you thought required.” [...]

[...] Our gross physical senses, and indeed our very bodies, insist upon interpreting the spacious present in linear terms, however—through the inevitable processes of birth, aging, and death—so to help us get his point here Seth advances his ideas of reincarnational selves and counterpart selves in ways we can understand sensually.

[...] We say that a certain gene contains the instructions for the manufacture of a certain protein the body uses in the construction or function of an eye, for instance, and that in expressing that code the gene passes on characteristics inherited from physical ancestors—but is that endowment influenced or directed in any fashion by reincarnational attributes as well? [...]

Dictation: The natural therapies of the body can be called upon with great effectiveness, as you will see in the next chapter. [...]

[...] Body very sore. [...]

[...] The interaction between body and mind is always present. [...]

Inner pockets of fear hold back needed energy, creating these weak points in the physical body. [...]

Needed energy is held back in the fist of fear, and not used for fullest repair within the physical body. [...]

[...] The body’s defenses, with oftentimes insufficient energy at their command, attempt to hold the fort and make repairs, until the needed energy is again available.

When Ruburt allows his body to relax, it uses the opportunity while it has it, so that the relaxation seems exaggerated. [...]

He has been getting up in the night because his body wants to exert itself fairly regularly, at this period of time. [...]

[...] I never want to overemphasize any of your attitudes, but Ruburt has become so used to not trusting the body that even such signs of healing can upset him.

You can request before you sleep that you rest mainly in Framework 2. Ruburt’s body has been trying to relax all day. [...]

[...] The body is releasing itself—but trust its methods.

That is, body and mind together explore their new freedom. [...]

The body, again, does possess such a natural faith, and it has nothing to do with esoteric methods and so forth—but again deals with a kind of self-evident biological knowledge. [...]

(Long pause at 9:23.) A belief in a “God who provides,” by whatever name, is indeed a psychological requirement for the good health of the body and mind. [...]

Now there are books programming out-of-body activity; millions of you are told that when you leave your body you will meet this demon or that demon, or this or that angry god. [...]

[...] His body, again, is responding. [...]

[...] It forms whatever body you now wear, and is the motive power behind your physical survival, for from it you derive your vitality. [...]

[...] The soul or entity then gives breath to the body, and to the three-dimensional self within it. [...]

[...] The atoms and molecules within them have their own consciousness, as do the atoms and molecules with your body.
